Rachel Sterne is CEO of GroundReport.com, a global citizen news platform that empowers anyone to publish and earn money from original, intelligent reporting. She founded the platform in 2006 with the mission to democratize the media and help the world share its stories.
Prior to founding GroundReport, Rachel worked in Business Development at peer-to-peer platform LimeWire and as a Political Reporter on the Security Council for the US Mission to the United Nations. Her experience observing political inertia at the UN during the Darfur crisis inspired her to launch GroundReport, a tool that empowers people to share on-the-ground reports and opinion, and discover what's really going on in the world.
Rachel has discussed GroundReport and citizen journalism for BusinessWeek, CNNMoney, NBC Universal, FOX News, The Aspen Institute, and dozens of other organizations. She is a co-founder of the Citizen Journalism Think Tank.
